據外媒報道，《臨床腫瘤學》雜志刊登一項最新研究顯示，大腸癌患者每天喝4杯或4杯以上的咖啡，可預防大腸癌術后復發，甚至有助提升痊愈的幾率。
據報道，這項研究總共針對大約1000名病患進行調查，這些病人全曾因為結腸癌第三期進行手術和化療。
波士頓達納法博癌癥中心（Dana-Farber Cancer Center）研究人員發現，每天飲用4杯或4杯以上咖啡，大約為460克以上的咖啡因能產生最大的療效。
研究人員表示，日常飲用咖啡導致大腸癌復發或死亡的風險減少，這與咖啡中的咖啡因成分有關。
部分原文報道如下；
colon cancer patients who enjoy a few cups of coffee a day appear to survive their cancer better and they're less likely to die early than non-coffee drinkers, researchers reported Monday.
It's the latest in a series of studies showing the benefits of coffee, which can lower the risk of diabetes, Parkinson's and cancer. This is the first one to show it may help patients recover better, and should come as welcome news to colon cancer patients who worry if they can safely enjoy coffee.
